The UK government’s updated legislation on regulating online spaces, which would be the first major set of regulations for the internet anywhere in the world, was introduced in Parliament on March 17.

Social media platforms are expected to be forced to remove content that is deemed harmful in the ambitious Online Safety Bill, as well as protect freedom of speech.
